When the Telecaster Meets Jack White?s Sonic Vision
Designed in close collaboration with Fender and pickup voicing by Tim Shaw, the Triplecaster LTD captures Jack White?s raw, inventive, and stage-ready approach. This limited edition retains the timeless DNA of the Telecaster and shakes it up with radical electronics, an engraved neck plate, and white powder-coated hardware that define its identity.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Built for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a characterful instrument for stage and studio. Its HSH configuration and inspiring controls cover garage rock, blues, alternative, indie, experimental rock, and anything requiring marked contrasts, wide dynamics, and gritty textures. The Hipshot Xtender allows quick switching to ?drop D? tuning for heavy riffs.
The Sound
The chambered ash offers a bright attack and airy resonance, while the maple neck and fingerboard provide brightness, precision, and midrange definition. The CuNiFe Wide Range neck pickup delivers full lows and sparkling highs, the JW-90 middle single coil offers the bite of a P-90 character, and the custom bridge humbucker cuts through the mix with dense, focused highs. The ?Direct-To-Jack? mode bypasses volume and tone controls for increased output and presence, ideal for solos. The Bigsby B5 ensures smooth vibrato without sacrificing Tele attack, and the compensated steel saddles optimize intonation and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose a Telecaster molded case or gig bag compatible with Bigsby for perfect fit. Opt for 10-46 nickel-plated steel strings (original spec), a wider strap for comfort, a curved capo suited to the 12" radius, and a sturdy stand to protect the finish.
